[It's that time of year again. Where it is encroaching upon Grell's birthday, she's up in arms about Homecoming, and Marco has no ideas for either. Well, some ideas, just not good ones.]

[So you know what?]

[Fuck it!]

[Marco is hiding out in phoenix form munching squash seeds.]

[Actually, this is not his typical phoenix form. You see normally, he's almost indistinguishable from the world's phoenixes except for being blue and sparkly. This time, it looks like someone bred a horrifying combination of a chocobo and a peacock.]

[Yeah. Not pretty.]

[Marco even shares some of his seeds with the chocobo around them as he asks them for advice. It doesn't go well.]

This is what I get for asking non-homicidal birds, yoi. [Hey, who said that?] I mean... wark. [Deadpan.]

[Later on the BBS this mysterious post will appear (as well as sparkly fliers throughout the halls):]

Attention all SeeD and cadets, this is a very important announcement!

DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR PUMPKIN SEEDS.

They are edible and delicious, and should only ever be planted or devoured.

If you have no interest in roasting them for yourself, see Marco SeeD rank 11 for a 500 gil reward for every pound of seeds you bring, thank you.

So, should I save my pumpkin seeds, what's in it for me other than 500 gil per pound?

And by the way, that's a really super mega low premium you're paying for something like that.

I just don't want someone throwing them out! I don't care that this isn't a sea-ship, that should still be illegal!

[fierybluebird]

What do you want instead?

[Yup. He totally isn't willing to pay big bucks. Except that he is.]

[selphie_t]

1500 to 2500 gil per pound plus a collection fee of 500 gil for every pound procured.

I don't know what you heard, but my SeeD promotion hasn't even brought me back up to the same level as an instructor yet.

How about 500 gil per pound, and triple triad cards? Are there any you're lookign for?

[selphie_t]

I don't really play triple triad. 1000 gil per pound and a fly around the area while you're in your bird form.

[fierybluebird]

700 per pound and a flight anywhere you want within a day's distance.

[selphie_t]

850 and we take the scenic route on said flight.

[fierybluebird]

800 and you promise to keep the conversation interesting even though I can't talk back.

[redcinemareel]

Stop negotiating away our livelihood!

500 gil per pound and I'll leave her alone for two weeks.

[fierybluebird]

You've been bothering Princess?

[redcinemareel]

Not as of late.

[fierybluebird]

Why were you bugging her? She's a sweetheart!

[redcinemareel]

You should know. And that was well over a month ago.

If I thought she was so sweet, do you think I would have bothered?

[fierybluebird]

Oh, you mean that time? That barely qualifies.

She is sweet. Really.

[redcinemareel]

Just because you like her, does not mean I will.

[And him telling her otherwise will only make her less inclined to like her.]

[fierybluebird]

Very well, Kitten.

You'll decide for yourself.

[redcinemareel]

I already have!

Now stop bargaining away our savings over PUMPKIN SEEDS!

[selphie_t]

Does that include nosedives and all the loop-de-loops my stomach can handle?
